Mercy Me and Third Day Aug. 10th 2011...I'm becoming a Gomer:)

As I'm sure many of you have recently seen on the news, a terrible tragedy stuck my Indianapolis In. community this weekend. 5 people lost their lives and, as of this morning, 18 people still remain in the hospital, many in critical condition. These are the photos i took of the memorial, outside the collapsed Grandstand 2 days after the accident.
Please lift up Indiana in prayer, especially praying for the victims who lost their lives on Aug.13th, the injured, the families of the victims, the people who rushed to aid those hurt during the event, those that witnessed first hand the accident and the people who work for the Indiana State Fair in all capacities.
May God grant them all healing, grace, and forgiveness.

Oh my. I hadn't seen the video -- how horrific. Praying for all of those affected.
